I periodically try a fantasy-magic genre author in search of a good one. After a few strike-outs this could be the series to read.
It's set in an alternate future where magic is overtaking technology--when magic is running high, technology doesn't work or is even destroyed. By about 1/3 of the way in, I was starting to like the main character, Kate. It's about Kate's role in this world where there are a few (confusing) magic-powered factions. Naturally she's the resourceful heroine who kicks ass and solves crimes. She also has a mysterious past frequently alluded to but never explained.
I didn't care for some of the descriptive detail of brutal slayings by the bad guys, so I skipped over those. Too gross for me.

Definitely more enjoyable in the Graphic Audio format than in the normal audiobook. I'm still not that sold on Curran, but the rest of the secondary characters were pretty solid.

This is exactly what's I was looking for a adult urban fantasy novel! It was fast paced, dark, gritty, and hard to put down. I thought Kate's character was bad-ass and I'm really looking forward to seeing her character develop through out the series. Definitely will be picking up the next book!

Good urban fantasy. I like Dresden I love October and this falls somewhere in the middle.
